Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h - LaLiga today

Barcelona take on Atletico Madrid this afternoon with two pre-season title contenders now fighting over a top-four spot.

While a league fixture in February may seem like a relatively understated affair for a club of Barcelona’s stature, their meeting with Atletico could prove pivotal in the race to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

Currently, Xavi’s side sit a point and a place behind the LaLiga champions in fourth and a win could lift them into the Champions League spots for the first time in months.

Since winning the league, Atletico have struggled in what looks like the most difficult season of the modern Diego Simeone era. With nether side at their usual best, drama might replace the kind of quality we’ve seen on show before.

Date, kick-off time and venue:

The La Liga game is scheduled for a 3.15pm GMT kick-off on Sunday February 6, 2022.

The Camp Nou in Barcelona will host the match.

Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid prediction

Surely, Atletico will look to sit deep in order to keep their place in the top four. While they are not quite the same defensive wall as they were a few years ago, Barcelona’s rather blunt attack could lead to a tight game.

1-1 draw.
